Ghanaian recording artiste, Okyeame Kwame was presented with the keys to Cincinnati, Ohio, United States of America by its Mayor John Cranley yesterday.

The event was organized by the Black Nurses Association of Cincinnati in partnership with the Cincinnati Ghanaian community.

The ceremonial scroll and a key to the city is a symbol of Kwame’s unlimited welcome to the city. The honour lets him organise events, run cultural exchange programs among others in a capacity as an International Cultural Ambassador.

He also performed at a benefit concert to raise awareness and resources to aid the OK Foundation in its global effort to stem Hepatitis. His free Hepatitis B Campaign is intended to be extended to hit the West African region in 2017 after making remarkably successful strides in Ghana in the past 7 years.

As founder of the Non-Profit Non-Governmental Organization dedicated to the eradication of the dreaded Hepatitis B virus from Ghana, Okyeame Kwame has over the years organised mobile clinics to screen over 7,000 people – vaccinating over 1,500 across the country.
